Got a call from this number on the 31st of August 2026 - just another annoying scam trying to bother me.

Constantly getting calls that just stop ringing before I can answer.

There was this weird, long pause on the line so I ended the call, looked it up and then put it on block.

The number popped up as suspicious so I just ignored it. Afterwards, I decided to block it and report it as a scam or spam.

Got a message supposedly from 'Barclays' telling me my card was linked to "Samuel's iPhone" for contactless pay and asking me to ring 0800 008 7047. Turns out it’s a scam – Barclays never sends texts like that. Although, I did get legit texts from Barclays when I switched my account, so be careful. They've also used a dodgy number before, 0333 200 1014, which has loads of comments warning about it. Worth having a look before you trust anything.

So I got a call from someone saying they were from my bank’s fraud department about a dodgy transaction. They wanted me to verify my bank details and transfer money to what they said was a secure account. The person on the line was in a hurry the whole time and just brushed me off when I asked for any kind of reference number.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise. I tried listening to the answerphone but there was no message left. Quite odd really.

Saw I had a missed call so I rang back, but it was this weird message I got instead.

Got two calls from this number, both times super late into the night.

Got a call from this number but they didn’t bother to leave any message. Since I have no idea who it is, I’m pretty sure it was some kind of scam.

Got this really odd voicemail from some sketchy stranger, might be a scammer or some AI thing, all creepy and weird sounding. Honestly, total weirdos messing about with my family like that.

Got a call from an unfamiliar number, didnt pick up. They didnt leave any voicemail. I searched it online and decided to block it.

You can tell right away it’s dodgy – ringing me at 5.53 pm on a bank holiday Monday? That’s all the proof you need.

Got a text saying loads of money had been withdrawn from my Barclays account and I should ring them asap - looked at my bank and there was no money missing at all.

I picked up the phone and the caller said she was calling from Indeed. She wanted me to add her number on WhatsApp and get in touch about a job offer. Before I could even respond, she cut the call. I wasn’t keen on following her instructions anyway. That was it.

Got a call from this number at about 8.45 this evening but I just let it ring out and they never said anything or left a voicemail.

Got a call where the person just said hello. When I asked who was calling, they told me I was the one who called them. I told them I hadn't called anyone and then they just ended the call.

They never left a voicemail, and I couldn’t get through when they called. I got calls back in February, then again in April, and once more in August.

Watch out for this number, it’s definitely a SCAM. They claim they’re from the fraud team at your bank (ours was HSBC) and ask for your card details like number, expiry and CVV. They say they’ll help you get back any money taken without your permission. They’ll even get you to ‘confirm’ a refund, but really you’re authorising a payment! Always ring your bank using the number on the card itself to be safe.

Missed a call from an unknown number, no message was left. Feels like it might’ve been a scam, so I’ve blocked it just in case.

Got two rings but didn’t catch my phone in time, so I missed them both.

Someone called claiming to be my mum but then said she never sent that message or used that number. Watch out for this sort of thing!

Got a call from +447892636000 about some parking fines and debts. Immediately thought it was dodgy, turned out to be a scam. They tried to get me to send money to Lithuania 🇱🇹. Be careful, don't fall for it and report these lot to stop them ripping people off!

No message was left, probably just some spam call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with O2, but I’m not even an O2 customer and I’m on the TPS list anyway.
